Boise DEMocRAT: The reduction

That city intends to reap some of the
benefits of Idaho's mineral. ID.
Osborn, the contractor, will leave in
two or three days to superintend the
getting in of the last wagons loaded
with machinery for Silver mountain.
-. The investigation of the charges
against Rev. J. D. Flenner has been
postponed until Friday. The tribunal
is composed of Presiding Elder Eads,
and Revs. Gwinn, Joslyn, Thompson
and Maxwell. =. Miss Jennie Bris
bin, of this place, died last week at
the Sisters school, Salt Lake, of
typhoid fever, which disease is epi-
demic there. Her mother who had
been summoned from here, reached
there the day following her death.
... The elevation of Boise City, ac-
cording to barometical measurement
made by Lieut.. Green, U. S. signal
service inspector, while here few
DAYS since, is 2,S40 feet. This gives
us a greater altitude than hitherto
supposed. But this increase of ele-
vation, if correct, don't appear tc
bother our superb climate. -. Anoth

the Salvation barracks last night
One of the army took OFT his badge
and suspended devotional exercises
long enough to knock the filling ou
of an insulting scoffer. He was ar
rested and fined to-day, and had tt
soak pair of horses to raise thu
funds to pay his fine. The Cap

On Monday he was fined by Git.
Justice Morgan S25 and costs

took the latter; but shortly after hi
incarceration the amount of the FIN

INTER-IDAHo: Judge Rosborough
has suffered no little Inconvenience
and pain from a sore finger for some
time past, and the doctors now say
that it must come off. He will wait
until he returns to Salt Lake before
he has the amputation made. -. The
smelter in East Portland is no sooner
started up than it is forced to close
down again by reason of the exhor-
bitant and prohibitory rates charged
the Idaho ore shippers. The works
were built under fattering promises
on the part of the Union Pacific COM
pany in regard to rates, but now in
pursuance of their old shortsighted
policy they raise their rates to the
highest notch in order to force the
shipments to Omaha. The Northern
Pacific in the same way makes cheap
er rates from the Cpur d'Alene coun-
trv east than west, thus discriminate
ING in favor of the Wickes reduction
company.

By the sudden death of Gel. W. B.
Ainslie, &. b., at his residence in
Chester street, Edinburgh, on Monday
morning, another of the fast disap-
pearing band of Crimean heroes has
been removed. Colonel Ainslie was
a child of the regiment, having been
born at Futtigur, IN the East Indies,
in 1911, his father being Col. Aims
lie of the Madras Army. He entered
the army at an early age, and joined
the 93d Highlanders, in which he
rose to the chief command, and led
the regiment in some memorable en-
gagements. The onl y active service
which the Colonel saw was in the
Crimea, but he there distinguished
himself by such conspicuous bravery
as to gain for himself the Comman-
dership of the Bath. He was in ev-
cry sense splendid specimen of the
British soldier, full of martial spirit,
vet modest and unassuming in all his
actions. As comrade in arms re-
marked, he never said: $50 on,
boys" but "Come on" He led the
Highlanders up the heights of the Al
ma, and later in the campaign it was
he who formed his regiment into the
historic ''thin red line" at Balaclava
to resist the heavy onset of the Rus
sian cavalry. He was deeply attach
ed to his regiment, and his men re-
garded him with devotion and affec
tion; brother officer having once
said that 'his Highlanders woulc
have followed him anywhere, even t.
the ends of the earth" He sold ou
of the army good many years ago
being succeeded in the command o
the 93d by General Burroughs. Sine
, his retirement, Col. Ainslie has live'
a quiet and unobtrusive life in Edln

Ths stamina was gone out of the survivors, and protracted rest was necessary. with good feeding for all of them, The situation admitted of neither, and with huge gaping wounds and terrible sores from packs and girths, the wretched animals continued to be driven about An awful etfiuvia, noxiouS as Q pest-house, exhaled from the wounds of the miserable animals, and has latterly filed the air wherever a camel convoy marches. say noth- ing of the stench from the countless dead victims which line the route from Abu Kru to Korti. Even as I write the odor from hundreds of these lying outside the entrance to Gakdul makes the approach to this place sort of running the gauntlet of smells insuffer- able.

Cost of Washington Homes.

"One of the leading real-estate agents here is my authority" says the Washington correspondent of the Cleveland Leader. ''for the following estimate of the homes of some of the leading men of the Nation: Blaine'c house cost S90, GOO, and it rents for 10 per cent. on $130. 600. Don Cameron's big house on Scott Circle is worth $80, coo, end is one of the finest fin- ished houses in Washington. Win dom's house, just across the way, which cost him his place in the senate, is worth S60,0 ,000, and ought to rent for a good interest on that amount. Pen dleton's house, just above Camoron's, cost $40,000 to build, and is now worth $60,000, and the big brick of Secretary Robcson, which adjoins it, is valued at twice this sum. Bell, the telephone man, also lives on Scott Circle, He paid $115, 900 for his house and stable, and it is one of the most valuable properties in Washington. Omar D. Conger has house on M street, just off Thomas Circle, which Mrs. Conger bought at bargain. She gave S20,000 for it. It was built by 8 pawnbroker, and it is, l should say, worth twice as much as it cost. Mrs. Dahlgren, the wife of the Admiral, has a mansion looking out toward the Thomas statue, worth $65, ,000, and just across the way in a brown-stone house on the corner, which is certainly worth S35,0 lives Poker Bob Sohenck ''

The Legend of Khaled Ibrahim.

Where waved tall palms beside holy shrine In Araby the blest and one by one The golden hours ran out in dazzling sands, Or dreamed away the star-tranced Easterh There dwelt alone blameless man of God. Remote from fell temptations thousand From all the countless sorrows of the world. That stain and bruise the saddened human His life flowed on. as holy as his faith, And that was pure, most simple and sincere. Each day was blessed, and seemed to whisper As forth it hoated on the tide of years; .'l am an unseen hand that becKons thee To where eternal peace sits high enthroned, Under the stars Of thy immortal home; And there thy soul for eyermore shall dwell With kindred souls who fled from this dark
 world,
 To drink the drauqht of immortality, God-given at the founts of Paradise. And as the years spun out in silver threads Their bcnediction on his wrinkled brow, The turtaned horsemen of the desert tribes Had scattered far and near, like autumn The stories of his rare bencvolence And salntly life; until there came time, When way-worn pilgrims, travel-stained and With staff and scrip came OCT the desert
 sands,
 To view the sacred shrine where lowly dwelt The Lords anointed, and blessing beg; And mail-clad Knights ali humbly bowed the
 knee,
 And bUeu the IANOr OI the uOly H1Hu. Kings journeyed down across the burning
 sands
 To where the shrine lay powered in the
 palms.
 To crave hearing with the rev 'rend man, And ask the secret of the worlds unrest Fame, honor, wealth to him at length had
 come.
 And laid their gathered treasures at his feet, Until men said: "Lo, here Is one in truth To whom life gives that wondrous crown,
 content,
 wreathed with the fadeless flowers of happi-
 ness
 That line the pathway of goodly fife" But when the angel of the Lord came down The hidden stairway leading from the skies, To guide his steps toward the vales of rest. Horlzoned with the glow of Endless years, Then like an arrow in it's flight, regret, Pierced through and through the iron mall of
 Time,
 Sharp as remorse, and, covering his face, He beat bis breast and cried aloud: 70, God, That could live my wasted life again"

Ecbrast 2 Coal.

Prof. Hicks, of the state university, writes: It has long been Q mooted ques- ton, both in the mind of geologists and of practical miners, whether there is coal in Nebraska that will pay for mining. The citizens of Brownville, Nemaha county, have been making a practical test of this matter, for which they deserve much credit, since their test well has brought to light facts of great scientific interest and value ire spective of the economical results. The boring was begun at an elevation of 919 feet above the level of the sea, and carried to the depth of 1000 feet 10 inches, or 81 feet 10 inches below sea level. The surface rocks at BroWnville are upper carboniferous, and show traces of coal, as, for instance, in the west bank of the Missouri river just above the railway station. The drill penetrated the lower coal measures, but did not pass through them. These are the productive measures of the car boniferous in Iowa and in the states further east. Here, therefore, is the place to find coal if it exists at all in paying quantities in Nebraska. The only seam found in the lower coal measures was one of bituminous coal of fair quality. 80 inches in thickness, st depth of 820 feet 8 inches. The boring was carried 180 feet further without encountering any more coal
 Below the 30-inch seam nothing was encountered but the shales, limestones, and sandstones ordinarily found in the lower coal measures. This renders 1t improbable that any more coal would Do found at greater depths, although the demonstration would have been more complete if the hole had been put down one or two hundred feet deeper. Above the 30-inch seam three other thin seams were found; one inches thick at the depth of 93 feet, another IA inches thick at depth of PAP feet, and third 10 inches thick at depth of 375 feet. These evidently belong to the upper coal measures, as there is an interval of nearly 400 feet of barren rocks between them and the 30-inch seam. Immediately below the 14-inch seam is Q stratum of sandstone, 20 feet thick, containing water strongly im- pregnated with salt and other minerals in solution, which flowed out at the top of the well. Whether the 30-inch seam can be proftably worked at a depth of 820 feet is a question for the practical miner rather than for the geologist. It would at once be an swered in the negative where fuel is plenty, but in this land of prairies and magnificent distances from productive mines the answer is not so much a matter of course.

Riel, the Canadian Rebel.

The leader of the instruction in the Canadian NorthSest is thus described by the New York Sun:
 Louis Riel, who has organized the re- bellion, is the man who made Lord Wolseley a British General and Peer. But for Riel's rising in 1870 Wolseley, then Lieutenant-Colonel in Canada, with small hopes of preferment, would have missed his chance of leading tho Red river expedition, which brought him first into notice and led to all his subsequent preferment. Riel nas had a remarkable career. He is native of Manitoba. having been born there for ty-one years ago under the old Hudson Bay regime. He is of French ancestry and has somc Indian blood in his veins. We'll educated, bold and iusinuating in manner, he was just the man to place himself at the head of the French half breeds when they resolved to resist the intrusion of the Canadians after the purchase of the territorial rights of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1889, 1t was always suspected that some of the officers of the Hudson's Bay Company were the real inciters of the revolt, ow- ing to their discontent at new govern ment being set up where they had so long had undisputed sway. However that may have been, the movements under Riel's leadership soon passed be- yond their control. A provisional gov ernment was set up at Fort Garry, the Hudson's Bay Compeny's fort, and property there was seized, and thus Riel and his associates became posses sed of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth Of property, including fort with abundance of arms and ammuni- ton. A number of English settlers un- dertook to resist Reils authority, but their little rebellion was nipped in the bud, and one of them, named Thomas Scott, of Ontario, was shot by Riel's or ders. This event has left behind it bit ter feelings in the provice of Ontario, and it would be decidedly unhealthy for Riel to appear in that province at this late day. As soon as Wolseley, at the head of his regulars and militia, ap- peared at Fort Garry, Riel fled and his government dissolved. It was another Sedan.

 That will suit me well enough" said Uncle Angus. But it ain't likely. Some fellow will come and snap you up:"
 Millicent laughed.
 ''There are no fellows here," said she. "Unless you count Ostler Jack, at the 'Ecclefechan Arms, or Daft San dy, that goes about playing the bag pipes"
 Uncle Angus said nothing. He only laughed and smoked on. That night something occurred which reused the quiet houshold to active life. An accident on the railway which ran by the house scarcely quarter of a mile away, though they were far dis tant from any station, filed it with .a crowd of unexpected visitors. Forum ately all but one were so far uniniured as to be able to resume their journey next morning. but that one for days lay unconscious ot ali that Was trans piring around him, in Angus Carlyle's s house. And one morning in the vel low glow of early autumn, he seemed once more to emerge out sf the troub- led cbscurity of fever dreams into the real world again.
 "Where am I? What has become l of her, you know who 1 mean, the girl l danced with-the girl in blue. with the little blue glove-where is sheP" 1 "EhP" said Uncle Angus, withdraw ing his everlasting pipe from his mouth, and staring as if every one of his facul- ties were concentrated in the one sense of sight.
 That's quite right, Uncle Angus, :" said Millicent,-who had come into the room with 8 basket of wild flowers, which she had been gathering to brighten up tke sick-room,-'1 am the girl! l did dance with him in blue dress once, in London; but l never ex- pected thus to meet him again. "Then it was not dream?" said | Cecil Grieve, putting out his transpar- ant, skeleton-like hand, 'and you were my guardian-angel after all?'
 Scarcely month had elapsed since that bright autumn morning, when Millicent wrote long and confidential letter to her old schoolfellOw Eleanor. l 4O IAluh, SnS sG-lus 'lEdt |, NhO am of all persons the most prosaic and homespun, should have been living a real romance all these weeks! To think that he has loved me all this time! To think that the doctor says it was my nursing that saved his life! Oh, NellyI Nelly! That one Cinderella ! ni@it was tho turning point of my destiny. And you are to come nalo' And Uncle Angus says he does not know what he shall do when am gone. But of one thing, Nelly, want you tc be very, very sure: l am the happiest girl in the world. Yes, the very hap piest."
 Thus ended Millicent's life in afarm. house, and thus began her new exist ence.
 And Uncle Angus's sole comment was,-
